I would like to request the ability to apply a filter to the metrics displayed on the pipelines page. Would it be possible to split the default branch into two configuration options? Could you have the default branch configuration option and a new metric filter configuration option that has a default of the default branch when not configured? The metric filter could accept the same format as the branch filter. That would allow us to visualize only our production tags and use the pipelines page as a build monitor. Thanks!
